h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Alright, I really had the worst Monday of all time, but I'm over that because of today. Yesterday, my car had to be towed to the shop and I was forced to use 'the dinosaur'. This car is older than I am and was my greatgrandfather's pride and joy, need I say more? This car runs about as well as my grandfather does...he died about twelve years ago. Anyway, so I've had this awful morning when the dinosaur dies in the middle of a very busy intersection...with a log truck going about 45mph on my rear. Lots of honking and the trucker decides to be a really nice one and direct traffic while Stacy frantically tries to restart the car. Car starts, Stacy thanks trucker, drives across the street to abandoned hotel parking lot and cries. Don't I hold up really well during stress? I finally get to school and have five minutes before class starts, so I really don't have time to get a temporary parking permit as you have to pay, fill out registration, and all of that good stuff. I decide, you know, the car has never been seen on campus so no one would notice if it was parallel parked in the visitor's zone. I had to take a biology test that I thought I failed the essay on. To overcome all of this upset, I experienced a few things that will turn any bad mood into a sparkling clear one.

1. Find out the high expected is a frigid 30C.
2. Listen to excessive amounts of Tower of Power.
3. Drive down your dirt road to find that the tax accessor, power company, and sheriff's department are all heading down to the end of your road where three people live.
4. Start driving to school and watch a Krispy Kreme doughnut truck driving 75mph (in a 50 zone) with its emergency flashers on.
5. Illegally park for the second time.
6. Get to math and find out you made a 97 on a test because you're not allowed to use calculators and you can't add.
7. Spend thirty minutes between classes talking teatro.
8. Go to biology and find you made a 90/100 even though you didn't do half the essay which counts twenty points.

Ooooooooooh, what a beautiful day...

Traveller in Time on his head
"Congratulations ! You have managed to get the car running again.

How about the caravan heading for your home did they miss it or was there some conspiracy going on? "

I can say thats a pretty bad day, I cant really say I have had any worse, so I won't. However congrats on the essay, I am sure you deserve it. I just hope I can do the same on mine, I think now I can as I HAVE FINNALLY GOT EXAMPLES! YES!

I think it was a conspiracy as they didn't visit us. Luckily, I got MY car back today, that lovely lump of maroon steel. I only had to pay $200 odd to get a new computer put in.

Actually, I didn't deserve that essay grade, but I'm sure as heck not going to contest too loudly. You got examples?! WAHOO! You've made REAL progress finally, I'm guessing then?

Well I have been making steady progress without them. My major problem was I needed examples of "maintianing the ballence between access and preservation" not just on access or on preservation and I needed sucseful cases, not failures. So I had either failures of it or not full accounts on both access and preservation. However I searched http://lii.org for some after my tutor in Information Retreivial (diffrent course) sugested I do that. I can say that I now officaly love lii.org

Oh, man! Isn't it GREAT? That's how I got through all of my summer projects. Articles, articles, articles. I love lii.org, too!

Well we shear a love of the libarians index, its only problem is not having a country centric search. I also like:
http://library.albany.edu/internet/deepweb.html
http://www.whois.sc/
http://www.seatguru.com/
http://www.mooter.com/moot
http://www.kartoo.com/
http://www.sprc.unsw.edu.au/

Never used any of those except Mooter, and we don't have a good relationship.

I have used all of them in information retrival, there all good, but I esspeacily like deepweb as it has a whole bunch of free databases

Sounds like a deal to me.

Oh yeah, I like deals wereby you get access to free databases. Oh and acording to Tickle I am a german shepard.

I would say what I got on that damned test last time, but it's too embarassing. I may go and retake it out of sheer boredness.

Well I don't really care, I took it out of sheer curiosity, its assement is pretty accurate actuly, for me anyway.

Where is it? I am now officially bored as my mother stopped entertaining me.

Ah, the Bonn-meister had it tagged. I, apparently, am a cocker spaniel. How often do cocker spaniels want to be mob bosses?

Actuly quite often I hear, they make damm good ones at that. I wanted to be a detective, so that explians the whole german sheapard thing.

So much for being unusual.

Yup

A girl does what she can.

A truer cocker spaniel if I ever saw one... :P
